Ritz London Hotel

I laughed at a previous review for this hotel since I actually did arrive in a Rolls and wasn't treated any better. I'm used to staying at "snooty" type hotels and even this place was over the top for me. We usually stay at Claridges but I've always been curious about the Ritz; I'm sorry we stayed. There were a few pros. We had a one bedroom suite which is beautiful and large with two nice sized bathrooms and beautiful sitting room. Also, the housekeeping staff is exceptional. I think they must be psychic, they anticipated every... more

Found the hotel far too snobbish.if you want a classic hotel with all the style and sophistication you would expect from a hotel of this class, just a lot more friendly, try the Savoy.i stayed here and was made to feel honoured that you deem to spend money with them, i stayed at the savoy as a gift (taking in gordon ramsays chelsea restaurant too, try it, it is amazing) and was given a complimentary upgrade as it was a gift !!! superb !!.the ritz should take some lessons from them.

My family has stayed at this hotel for 50+ years. I myself have probably stayed at this hotel 3-4 times a year ever since I was born. I spent my spring semester and summer in London and my parents came to visit several times. On my parents most recent trip, I went to the hotel to pick them up...I had just finished playing soccer and didn't see any reason to change before I walked into the hotel as I had walked through the front door a thousand times before in gym clothes. The valet @ the front actually said, "Um sir, may I help you." I... more

If you're mad enough to go for the afternoon tea you might notice the CCTV cameras peering at you from all over the place. Whether this is because you might steal a tea strainer or streak the palm court, I don't know, but I know I don't like it. You will go away hungry, too.

I went to the ritz london on saturday 01/oct/2005 to reserve a room for the weekend of 29/oct/2005 to celebrate the birthday of my partner. I was rudely greeted by a young man who told me that i could have done this on the internet or over the phone to save 'their' time. I only went down in person as i work a few streets down. I was shocked at the reception i got considering the amount of money i was ready to spend on what i thought was an exceptional hotel, one where i was looking to spend a night to remember. If this was their attitude... more

I am going to be short and sweet about this hotel. I cannot take the ambience away from this hotel, it is grand in its appearance and interior. I booked a standard double and was offered a deluxe suite for about £100 more, over looking Picadilly (the road). All was well, apart from the staff. They have this superior attitude. I felt like I was priviledged to be walking in their presence. All changed of course when I walked out of my chauffered Bentley...suddenly I was not this young guy with the scruffy clothes...enough said. There... more

Unless someone invites me, I won't choose to visit again. Absolutely unremarkable, excepting the enduring legacy of the name. However even that can't take the punishment of the indifferent experience I had. I took the ritual afternoon tea and had to watch the undignified behaviour of a guest (I guess), physically maulling the seated female oriental pianist as if he owned her. Gross. I wish I had got up now and done something about it! She left after finishing what she was playing and did'nt come back. The staff all have a... more

Simply fabulous - This hotel is great. The service was terrific and is centrally located to everything. Make sure you eat at the Wollesley (terrific atmosphere), eat at wagamma(asian). Yes, this hotel is upscale but the service and staff were awesome. I couldn't wait to get back to my room to lie on my bed, it is that comfortable. London is extremely pricey, be prepared for that, way more than a New York City.

The Ritz is absolutely classic, it is not in the spirit of the mega resorts. I loved the service, room and location! The conceirge desk was incredible, ask for Ray to handle your needs in London.He arranged car to and from Heathrow, restaurant reservations etc....... The rooms large with great beds and character. A world class hotel in a world class city!!

Suprerb, is all I can say! I booked a night @ the Ritz for my Wife's 30th with Dinner on the Orient Express, if we are talking value for Money then this has to be it, we had a Junior Suite with flowers, fruit and Champagane, the best service (2 calls to make sure you are happy). Breakfast in bed was a massive feast for 2 and the room was superb. If you fancy treating someone this is the place to go!
